Abstract

Red mud is a waste byproduct of alumina production. Its release into the environment poses risks, highlighting the need for strategies to limit pollution. Using red mud as a filler in polymer-matrix composites can reduce the leaching of heavy metals and metalloids. We fabricated composites with high red mud content (up to 60 wt.%) using two particle fractions (
